It's far from the best. It's much better than RotHC though. Well, it's pretty interesting and saturated, but it has SO many plot holes. Ignoring Warrior's storyline, ignoring DS choice at the end of Revanite DK quest chain. Oh, and the worst thing is what they did to the characters. Satele's character is so ruined, so is Revan. Listed only those things which comes to the mind first. Not to mention, the same storyline for both faction. Meh...

So you expect underperforming classes to get a special ''participation'' rewards? No, they won't. 1200 rating on Marauder is still 1200 and will get worse rewards( if any ) than 1500 Assassin.

Maybe. But ''scammers'' know how a buyer's brain might work when latter is distracted. So he siezes the opportunity. The people are ridiculously stubborn here. S-people( let's say it's not proven that they scam, so let it be a codename ) put greens on GTN with 1M+ prices KNOWING that people in haste, drunk people or people distracted by other matters( surely, for our ''L2READ OMG STUPID''© saying guys mentioned groups of people don't exist since all they say are ''ABSENT MATH SKILLS'' and ''ABSENT READING SKILLS'' ) might buy this and lose a lot of money( let's call them V-people ). HOW COME S-people are completely innocent? To disprove the ridiculous statement about S-people's innocence here's the example. Let's say no S-people were putting cheap things on GTN for huge prices with this cunning use of points and commas. Would V-people spend a lot of money on useless items in this case? Not at all.

Funny how furiously people trying to prove that it's not a scam. Do you people think that it's only possible ''to scam'' using other illegal methods rather than scam itself? If someone preys on other people inattentiveness which sometimes results in ''prey'' doing something they would never do rationally, how is that not scam? Yeah, such ''predator'' doesn't do anything illegal, yet in some countries ''scam'' is a crime itself( though when no other illegal activities were involved it's hard to prove ''scam'' ). Let's put it this way. OP lost his credits? Yes, he did. Was he inattentive? Yes, he was. Would he lose his money hadn't someone tried to scam him? No, he wouldn't. Yeah, that's it! Actually, one more question. Has he been the only one to lose money this way? Hell, no! The number is pretty big. Yeah, now say that the world is full of idiots( when inattention is a completely different thing, but you don't care If you want to brag how you always keep your guard up in video game ). Another question is should something be done about it? Not sure. It's definitely not possible to take action against scammers. Not sure if some changes can be implemented in order to improve the situation. Probably, no. Guess, people will have to live and learn, either from their own mistakes or from mistakes of others, then take appropriate actions like the ones suggested( for example, go for GTN prices limit ). To OP: feel sorry for you, 18M is something something. You shouldn't act like it's your fault and your fault only though. Usually the ones being scammed always guilty of something, usually more than mere inattentiveness, though. But it doesn't mean that scammers are innocent, they are the one guilty in the first place. Scam is still a scam. It's always tricking people and lowering their guard.

So, this boss is tougher and more time-consuming than others in KDY. I got it. So what? Is that such a big deal? I don't rly get ur problem with that. Let's say you are a good player. Let's say other 3 players suck to some point. As you claim. It should at least be challenging for you. If the length is only problem, then it's like 3 mins more? 2 mins? Not that much time. It matters though if you ONLY do KDY while leveling. But in this case you don't care about fun. I kinda get that it might be a little inconvenient for you. What I don't understand is why you think such a little matter requires redesigning entire boss fight, which always proves to be hard for BW( usually when they nerf something they kill all the fun ). So don't expect the ''issue'' to be adressed.

Hmm. And what about casual raiders? And people who want some minor challenge? Besides, how do you enjoy ops if u faceroll it? Hardmodes( at least the latest ) are hard and not for everyone, that's how it should be. However, SM are accessible for any player who CAN play his class and is able to invest some time into gathering a decent group or simply joining a guild. Of course, the most safe way to go through new SMs saving you a lot of time is to join a casual guild which would do these raids on a weekly basis. If you want to faceroll content in greens not bothering into investing some time into learning your rotation, DCD and other skills, then guess what? Raids are simply not for you. You can enjoy other content. Secondly, do not mistake casual players and awful players who basically want free endgame loot and achievements rather than fun and some challenge.

If you ONLY want story, you can always watch ops videos on youtube. ]quote]It should be reasonable to complete with a random pick up group/group finder. There are some people that are just not able to experience the story because they can't get past certain bosses without joining a raid guild. Nope, it shouldn't. I mean, it should be puggable unlike HMs, but if any random pug can make it, than it's too easy. And it's not like it's very hard to get a raid in the guild. You don't have to join a raid squad within the guild. If you make SMs even easier than they are now, than it WILL NOT be about casual raiding. Casual raiding is not one shotting content without group coordination and knowing your rotation, tactics. It's not raiding at all. And casual raiding is still raiding, which gives some challenge to average players and groups, requires some teamwork and knowledge of your class. What? You don't need a stable raid team to complete SMs. Just a bunch of players who CAN play their class and some coordination and temwork( usually voice channel helps ). Very well. And what casual raiders? If SM will be only for story and ''random-puggable''?

You don't need to be hardcore to clear the SM operations. You just need to know how to play your class and the tactics for these operations. And no, by ''know how to play'' I don't mean you should practice a lot of hours on a dummy as DPS. You just should know what you are supposed to do. Is it hard? No. Can you learn that by running quests and Kuat? Not necessarily. Operations are not planetary quests. If the problem is group coordination, well, you expect it from 8/16-man operation. The number of ppl in there is that these people would coordinate and kill the boss.

You actually got it backwards. You get light side for killing him and dark side for something like ''ha-ha, I will watch u suffer, bad to be you''.

Althought it was intended as a sarcastic statement, It's actually a good explanation. Yes, Aloysius Kallig was neither Zabrak nor Twilek. Really, I can't understand how can one argue with it. You can even look at the examples of the important characters in masks. Dread Masters? Human. Darth Marr? Human. Just imagine Calphayus puts his mask away and you can see a Twilek with a lekku. Yes, great lore, makes perfect sense. Or just imagine Luke taking Vader's mask off and by some magical reason Vader is Tchuukthai. Makes even more perfect sense, right? Because NPC are determined by their looks. PC are not. It is canon that Darth Marr wore a mask. About Sith Inquisitor we know only that at some point of time he probably wore Kallig's mask during a ritual. So Kallig is not an alien. And with all ''CANON IS WHAT I MAKE MY CHAR TO BE!'' people forgetting that IT IS this way until we don't have an established canon on PC( like Revan in KOTOR ). If they ever decided to make ''canon'' Darth Nox, it surely will be Kallig that makes the most sense. Well, maybe, there is a 0,5 per cent probability that it will be Light 5 cyborg in slave girl outfit( if u like it so, but I would say even 0 % ). But most likely not. So lore canon unfriendly characters all you like, until the game shuts down Bioware would never say they are not canon for obvious reasons. But do you really believe that IF THEY ESTABLISH strict canon regarding PC and their storylines, there will be a lekku( dunno how, probably mask has some magical portals into an antoher dimension, which serves as a storage for lekku ) under Aloysius' mask? Or they will chose more suitable race like human or rattataki? Now, it doesn't mean 100 % Darth Nox is not a Twilek. He doesn't have to be the same race as his ancestor, especially considering his family was disgraced and I don't think they could allow themselves to care about the purity of blood. Still, when u are an alien Drellik says Aloysius was as well, so it appears Bioware's politics are that Nox and Hord's contemporary are of the same species. By the way, if we take topic starters opinion into consideration( which should be taken since it makes sense ) it's more probable that Nox is indeed human. Especially when we combine it with the fact that Tulak Hord was one of the Empire tradition's founders, so he probably won't take an alien as his top general( but he could, it's just less probable ). The second most probable choice would be a ratattaki. So, the Bioware says that any choice is possible. But it's a game. When you try to transfer it into the lore, there is a balance of probabilities.

What? Just because you don't like the set( a decent set tbh, not that's it's completely awful ) Bioware is trolling?

CaulderBenson, first of all, my purpose was not to argue about Rebels. No, I utterly agree with your reasoning that ''Rebels'' is exactly what Disney wanted them to be. Yes, I just don't get how it makes the show better for those in this topic. I'll comment on that again further. Well, then you don't care for Star Wars as well. What can I say if you declare that you don't care if post-ROTJ story would be described only in ''preschool'' reading? Or, maybe, I misunderstood you. Easy, what is the need for an agression? Besides, I've ascriben nothing. I said that I was sure about it. What do you mean as ''didn't complain''? You have endured them or you actually liked as you would've liked a serious( as serious as the Episodes ) novel? Well , only because the company politics are wise from a business point of view doesn't mean it is actually nice. In fact, usually it is contrary. My only problem with that is already been explained. Since they retcon TFU, I deem the whole concept of Rebels to be pretty important to the story - to know how the rebellion was given birth to. It's almost as important as downfall of the Republic to the story of OT. And yes, it is important to attract new audience to Star Wars. But I we're not discussing business plans or corporate strategies. Besides, it wasn't much of a problem back to the OT, was it? Many of us watched OT as kids and that's the reason we love Star Wars( in general ). And there is nothing wrong with it. I'm not one of the many who hate PT, I like it very much, but the world and atmoshpere of the OT is much better. Yep, OT wasn't very serious, but who's asking for the darkness and tragedy all the way? That's actually the second problem I have with ''Rebels''. I like OT very much. It's really exciting to get something major on the Empire's era. But then you know... Well, I really wasn't commenting your post with intention to discuss the ''Rebels'' themselves, because I don't think I can judge the show without watching all of it( although still can't make myself to do it after first episodes ). So I assume it's either as you people here deem it to be or similiar to the first episodes. I mostly wanted to comment on the differences between ''good for company profit'' and ''simply good''.

Except these are not canon. What is more, ''Rebels'' is supposed(as far as I know ) to explain the beginning of the rebellion - the important part in SW lore most of the fans would like to know. I'm pretty sure if you were to get ''preschool Star Wars reading'' about post-ROTJ lore INSTEAD of proper Episodes 7,8 etc. you wouldn't be very happy about it.

Well, regarding his power, it actually made me reconsider his strengh. He takes on a player character, Darth Marr, Satele Shan, a powerful mandolorian bounty hunter, top-1 republic SIS agent, not the weakest Sith Lord and well... a wookie. As far as Lana and Jakarro doesn't seem very powerful, the others are impressive in a team( to challenge head of the Dark Council and Grand Master of the Jedi Order is admirable treat itself, now, with the others it's something something. I do not mention player char here, because it could be anyone from Darth Nox to the Smuggler, ). From the other side, every possibility is a game canon, so canon wise Revan still should pose a threat to the teams with the force using player characters. We shouldn't consider in-game abilities and mechanics, but I thought they wanted to make it clear that Revan can use both light and dark side. Lightside on a smaller scale, of course, but it should count for something.

I've meant power-wise. Both have defeated members of the Dark Council at the end of their Act 3 storyline. Not sure if any of them above all of the Council though. No doubt, Inquisitor is not worse as a duelist. The lightning and Sith magic are even more deadly than the lightsaber sometimes. But he is considerable worse as a lightsiber dueslist, I thought u had denied it. That being said, he is still a master of lightsaber combat. Now, on the other topic, how really powerful was the Thanaton? Ravage threatened to kill him, but he usually talks with his his heart and not brain. Thanaton, on the other side, said( to the Dark Council members ): ''You will all answer for this''. I don't believe his emotions were absent in his choice of words, but it should count for something. And the lightning displays in the cutscenes are impressive.
